ST JUDE BELLINGHAM'DOR with another brace.

Khanben:


This is something I also had to deal with before I read studies on how bad eyewitness testimony and memory recall actually are in reality.
So what I do now is actually go watch these old games and you are right, it's all nostalgia. I remember during the pandemic, I watched the Bulls vs. Suns finals games, and the whole series was tailor made for the Bulls to win. The Suns had a team which had no way of slowing down the best scorer that they were facing
They had no interior defense because they played small, every wing defender big enough to guard MJ was too slow, and the ones quick enough was too little. Personally I came away with more respect for Sir Charles after that series, he was constantly being doubled by Pippen and Grant or one of them with MJ showing help and he still took them 6 games with his 2nd option being an inconsistent mess all through the series.

PS: I recently watched a scoring cut of the Heats Tim Hardaway Sr game 7 against the Knicks. What he did that day was hailed as one of the best game 7s ever. But after watching it 3x, his performance that day is what Steph does every other day, for those who keep saying Steph couldn't play in the 90s that game is a window to how dominant he would have been. Those rugged hard nosed Knicks had no answer for someone who was pulling up from 23ft

That is why we call them Nostalgia Merchants. Imagine thinking Steph or any all time Great will be dominate any era of basketball. Steph was greater than EVERY 90s guard bar a certain Michael Jordan.

If a player like Reggie Miller whose game is built around mastering off-ball movement and historically good shooting can dominate in the 90s, a guy like Steph Curry—who is somehow still outwardly better at shooting and moving without the ball, and is so much better at finishing makes a recipe utter domination. Basically Steph is so much better than Reggie at what He(Reggie) does best it's a joke then add in the fact Steph's passing and Ball Handling(Top 3 all time imo) is so good, Reggie can only dream of coming anywhere close in two lifetimes.

Khanben:



Thank you, I recently watched and analysed every shot Kobe took during that game. What i observed was that, just like any other high scoring output it was a combination of incredible shot making on Kobe's part, plus questionable defense by the Raptors. With how hot the dude was they never doubled him, he only saw an extra Raptors defender when he got into the lane after either blowing past his primary defender. Don't get me wrong he made some incredible shots, but I also saw occasions where he was so wide ass open it was just laughable.

Social media calls them "Nostalgia Merchants" and I tend to agree. For some reason they think we did not watch those game ourselves. Heck even if you did not, you can easily re watch the whole game in it's entirety.

Roland17:


It is why I never get excited about a 1 goal leads because I have seen enough to know we will concede late.

It's pretty annoying to be frank. All our hope lie with Juve and especially Inter dropping points.

To be honest that equaliser was coming.

larride:


Hawks defense is atrocious. They cant defend to save their lives.

Atrocious defending is more often than not the root cause of players going off and scoring a ridiculous amount of points. For example The Raptors defense when Kobe went off for 81 was even worse. Luka taking 46 shots like Kobe did would have been the first to score 100 since Wilt.

etidy:


I saw some clips of that game and the defending is borderline atrocious. Luka is great offensive talent , no doubt about that the defending has a role to play in this offensive burst we are seeing.

KAT, Embiid, Booker and Doncic have all dropped 60+ games within 4 games against different opponents and you think all is well with the league defending. Hell no!

I definitely agree scoring inflation has certainly helped but I also think the players of today are just generally better shooters of the ball. Luka's especially was special because of His insane efficiency.

The league certainly has a lot to do to improve defending but if you put Luka and Embiid in any era, they'll still be sitting amongst the best scorers.

etidy:

The 70 point games of doncic and embiid feel like 40 points if context is applied .

I disagree especially Lukas. His level of efficiency whilst scoring that many points is insane. I just watched the Kobe's 81 point again and this Hawks team is miles better than that team. If Luka faced that team on this form and neglected efficiency like Kobe did, He'll be the first to score 100 since Wilt.

Roland17:
4 players score over 60 points in the month of January with Doncic scoring 73 today agains the Hawks.

A friend of mine has been telling me for a while now that He believes Luka is the Greatest NBA scorer of all time. He just sent me a text. He has now scored more Points in a singular game than Jordan,Lebron,Bird,Magic,Shaq,D.Robinson,Steph,KD et al and his efficiency dwarfs the ones that have scored more.

fredoooooo:

Chicken and shrimp ,My bro.... Have a wonderful year ahead

My Brotherrrrrrr. Happy New Year Man. I just read your post and started cracking up like a madman. Maybe one day you'll change sha

fredoooooo:

Won siere ni Gaza ni , who care about us in Africa ? Absolutely no one, why should we care about them ?

BIg Bill Belicheck, Pete Carroll and Nick Saban are all gone. Really and truly the End of a Footballing Era.

Your Weekly JUDE BELLINGHAM'DOR update has arrived yet again

In amidst the chaos that is this thread, just a friendly and daily reminder of the feats of an amazing young man called JUDE BELLINGHAM'DOR!

Since when did Larride and Steady start following baseball?

I did not expect his yearly AAV to be that much especially not right after His season ending Tommy John surgery. Before the surgery absolutely but thought it'd be around the 60-65 million ball park but then again He is by a long short the Biggest Global Superstar Baseball has ever had so I expect the dodgers to recoup their yearly earnings back in no time.

WhoDeyHause:

They don't even have someone of Nico paz quality in their midfield talkless of JB5. Someone that has more champions league goals than gbafinha and fraudmal. Let dead barka fans continue overhyping their mid coach and players.

Which one Gbafinha and Fraudmal nau?
I said a few months ago that Jude was pulling away from His fellow Golden ball nominees (bayern fans agreed with regards to Musiala so did madrid fans with regards to Cama only Barca fans disagreed when it came to Pedri and Gavi)but now the Gap is as big as it's ever been. He is on another Tier compared to them currently.

WhoDeyHause:
Barka's new owner Jude victor William bellingham strikes again. He's him. 🔥🔥🔥

If only they had someone of His quality in their midfield alas no. He is only just getting started btw. Another 10+ years of Bellingham the Menace awaits them.

A wiseman once said

Roland17:
If we play like this against BVB, we will get smoked but they don’t have a good defense anyways.

I'm disregarding the latter part because although true, we failed to capitalise on it.

JUDE BELLINGHAMMMMM!


R.I.P to one of Barcelona's greatest ever coaches Terry Veneables. You'll be sorely missed.

Roland17:


For some weird reason, the Magic always have our number and yesterday was annoying. If we matchup in the playoffs, I still feel pretty confident. Their size is their biggest advantage but big credit to the job the coaching staff have done.

I like your confidence. I think I read the Magic over the last 2 years have a winning record against you Guys. They simply match up well against you Guys. They neutralise the size and length advantage you've got over most teams as that's their strong suit too. If they make the right trades come the new year,you lot better watch out.

birdman:


Giddey go dey reason am now - the s** wasnt even good like that lol.

But its easy for us to say. Until you have that type of money, you don't know how far you will go. I think the internets and social media is a godsend for today's young men especially in the "hoeing" phase, like 50 put it . Older men tended not give good advice to younger because it made them look foolish. So we keep repeating the same mistakes. At least with social media you can see results of certain behavior LIVE...

Reminds me the Ghanian mogul that married second wife in later years. On his sick bed, paralyzed and unable to talk, he observed both families fighting to carry his bed out of the hospital ward, with police trying to intervene. Inside life...

Loool dude will be madly regretting it. The Chic started Posting the pictures of the two of them together on Her social media immediately to show off to friends.

Nah Bro that's even more reason for me to behave differently. No way Am I risking loosing all of my earning potential because of a fling. Not chance mate. No one is saying they shouldn't enjoy themselves just be extra extra careful. You've got everything to loose they don't. Real inside life o. When shyte hits the fan, you'd be left to carry burden alone.

A40:
He did miss all of last season and got an extra 10 game suspension for his trouble. I didn't expect him to get any more than that. Now if he was convicted for grape or something in that ballpark then likely he would have been done

I mean we all remember the infamous Karl Malone case, that likely doesn't fly today

But like I previously said it's in the interest of the victim that the dude is back in the league. There's no need for any interaction between them besides a check in a mail.

Well KPJ was starting PG for the Rockets last season that I recall very vividly. Anyway most guards today are combo guards anyway. Dame, Steph, Fox they're PG in name alone

Mehh. Miles is not a needle mover, neither was KPJ. These are not all star caliber players so we are splitting hairs on mid and medium mid. Miles will not be a difference maker on a winning team

I think he will find his way back in the league if his personality doesn't get in the way. You can see the accuser sensationally back tracking all her accusations and accusing the prosecutor of overblowin and worsening her situation. Was this the real and initial occurrence or has she realized a bag has been fumbled. At this point who the fuq knows

That's true sha. There is a hierarchy of crimes committed. Murder for instance is on a whole different level compared to Domestic violence.

I'm surprised Malone keeps getting these invites to NBA events. Heck they even promote Him on their various Social media platforms. How He has gotten away with it I'd never know.

He was starting for Rockets when they were openly tanking and He was pretty rubbish as their as PG. I disagree with Miles not being All Star Calibre. He was on an upwards trajectory before the incident derailed His career and I honestly still see Him making a couple of All star appearances assuming He remains on the straight and narrow. I don't see that with KPJ. With regards to contenders, I see Miles starting on a few. Off the top of my head, slot Miles in place of MPJ on the Nuggets and they don't miss a beat. On the Bucks, He is an upgrade over current Middleton. KPJ on will be coming off the bench on any serious team.

As long as He is willing to accept minimum contract, He'll be back in the depth charts in 18 months time.

A40:
I heard age of consent is 16 in Oklahoma. And also Australia where he is from.

He should probably have found one 19 year old girl or something because even that 18 dey tricky. For example see some people don already dey call Jay Z groomer never mind Bey was at least 20 when their parole start. Inside relationship wey she don dey happily over 20 years. God save us from Gboromideleru

What is there to gain exposing woman?

Women will shame you. Most simp men will join them to shame you as well. See what they did to Pardison wey open that animashaun girl Megan yansh

It is but rumours abound that He did not do the deed in oklahoma alone but in one or two other states. Hopefully that's not the case for His sake.

This dudes should just f@#k chics a few years older. It eliminates all risk for them and as long as they don't get them pregnant they are good to go. Is there any person that has not be accused of Grooming these days? I saw a post on twitter saying All Men should be seen as Rapist and Groomers until proven otherwise and that post got well over half a million likes. That's what we are dealing with nowadays.

Bro absolutely nothing. Men know that that's why Sidemen unlike sidechics, enjoy the perks of dating wealthy women and keep it moving once it's done.

Bruhhhhhhhhhh reason why I say you shouldn't argue with Women on social media especially twitter. If you do, All Women will shame you, the LGTBQ+ will shame you, straight Men hoping to get crumbs of imaginary P@##y will join in too. Thankfully they've been a lot of push back in the last year to year and the half.

Roland17 you better hope you don't match up with the Magic come playoffs time because if you do, it'll be a long series for you Guys. I wish the Magic had Cason Wallace as I like what I am seeing from the Young Lad.

A40:
What's happening with Josh Giddey? E be like these players na the weapon fashioned against themselves

Considering he's actually only 21 why not just find one 18 or 19 year old girl, some people will still cry about this but at least you're legally straight

Bro this dudes never learn. If true, the only thing that can save Him is if the Age of consent in the state He did the deed is 16/17(the presumed age of the chic in question). These Lads need to realise Men and Women are different. Women are by nature suicide bombers. Anything you do with them will ultimately come out. That's why everyday there is a story of a Male athlete, Company Ceo, Politician et al getting exposed unlike their female counterparts.

A40:

But here's the kicker. Do we want to be emotional about these things or do we want to be practical? I'm not condoning his actions at all btw but if the fans or people in power were bussified males and women guess what it's still women that will suffer if they choose emotions over logic

When it comes to intimate partner issues if you end his career what happens to the quality of life of the kids and the woman. He is supposed to provide and protect right? How does he do that with his earning power drastically diminished.

I think the focus should be more on restraining orders. Keeping the mother and child out of harm's way while he keeps playing and supporting them financially. Do we want to be right or do we want to get it right? He was eligible for a 9 figure extension. That is generational wealth fumbled.

KPJ is a point guard actually. He's had his unstable issues before and was doing pretty ok in Houston. The gap in quality between him and Miles Bridges is really not that wide for him to be out of the league considering their offence is similar. I think he might have other personality issues that's keeping him outside the league along with his own partner violence

Oh I agree with you I'm certainly not on the Nail Him to the cross never let Him a living ever again. As you said, banning Him for life helps absolutely no one especially not His Kids. I was just surprised He was allowed back into league but then again I really shouldn't be as one exec famously said if Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3, we'll diagnose it as an eating disorder.

KPJ is more of a Combo guard than a Point guard tbh. I watched Him a fair bit and He has never impressed Him. He shouldn't be anymore than a 6th or 7th piece on the depth chart on any serious team. Miles on the other hand without His baggage would have been highly coveted and would be strating for quite a few teams. Then again Josh Primo is currently on the Clippers roster and He certainly is not better than KPJ so I'd give it another 12-18months. Maybes teams are simply waiting for things to die down a little bit.

A40:
NBA fans are woke but not woke enough. Plus he missed all of last season and then a 10 game suspension.

The tricky part with this DV thing is if the man is out the league your earnings as the woman will suffer. So you need to be 100percent certain that man will be put away and then you have to start from square 1. As it is he has already missed out on a massive payday.

Look at Kevin Porter Jr. Same wahala. The babe had to retract her whole accusation but it was too late plus we knew she was capping.

I think Sporting stars In different sports should thank their lucky stars Straight Men(who make up the majority of their audience and people in power)are not as "Woke" as their women counterparts. If they were, it'll be curtains for a lot of careers.

In addition to what you said about KPJ, He is simply not as valuable as Miles so I don't see a way back for Him. His role as a sixth man volume scorer from the bench can be replaced compared to Miles's 3andD wing All star potential defence and offence.

Ibime:

These guys can't trap ball after 3 years training and plenty billings.

How did Miles Bridges survive His domestic violence case? I really thought the Violence against Women charities would have gotten His @$$ out the league.

If only you had signed the Great Jude Bellingham instead of the abundance of Shaku shaku midfielders you currently have on your roster. Oh well you learn from your mistakes I suppose.

FS@&#K ME HHDBJDJFBFFHFBFFB We are so backkkkk!. They've slightly redeemed themselves today after the performance they gave at the weekend. Nah man I'm proper buzzing. Get in there Lads!


FORZA MILAN!

steady986:


Here we go again

Nah this dude is different. I've never seen anyone have Steph and KD so scared to shoot with his mere presence alone. Injuries permitting, we'll revisit this topic in 10-12 years
Time.
